Stardust!

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

We’re so hooked!  Just saw the movie last night, and it’s definitely one for the collection!  So what if we’re unabashed romantics!  It’s also got some great action scenes, funny, funny characters, and so much imagination of story and visuals that it kind of blows your mind!   I laughed and laughed, held my breath, and even had room for one small tear at the end - in other words, a perfect movie experience!  Too bad it’s not sequel material!  But it is a complete and perfect jewel all by itself!

Have you seen it yet?  Tell us what you thought…and see if you can do it without blowing out all the surprises!  Good luck!

DCI Worlds!

Monday, August 13th, 2007

We went to the Drum Corps International World Championships this weekend at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, and boy!  was that a mind blowing experience!  This group is made up of individuals who audition and train with each corps, and not related to the high school or college they actually attend .  The performances are by drum and bugle corps marchers, along with performers who specialize in movement, flag work, and military style precision work with guns, swords and batons.  If you want to know more, check out the organization’s website, and get in on the fun for next year, when the Champioships will be held in Indiana!

Do you march?  Tell us all about you and your organization!  The Blue Devils of Concord, CA rocked the house and took the gold!  Do you wish you were there, too?

The Earth Moved!

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

At least in LA!  Last night we were all shook up by an earthquake at about 1am!  We almost didn’t even to bother to get out of bed and go to the door like you’re supposed to, it was so gentle and rolling!  They said there were aftershocks, too, but we slept right through them.  So much for “natural disaster”!

What about you?  We’re sure a few of you were in Brooklyn for the tornado yesterday!  Or maybe some of you are from places where it’s flooding, or hailing or, or super hot…so tell us your story!  Ours is truly boring next to what some of you may have experienced!

What’s your brush with a natural disaster story?

Good Up, Barry!

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

If you’re into it, baseball just had a record breaker yesterday: Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hit his 756th home run, and with it, took the title for the most home runs in a baseball career.  The previous record was held by Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Brewers, who quit playing ball in 1976.

A LOT has been said about Bonds’ use of steroids making his an ‘empty’ record.  We would just like to offer some other arguments to this:  1. At the time Bonds may (or may not have, nothing’s been proven) have used steroids, it was not illegal, and he would not have been alone in using them.  So, if everyone’s using them, why is he still better?  2. The four minute mile in running was first broken by Roger Bannister in 1954, and since then, if you can’t run a mile in under four minutes, you shouldn’t even bother competing.  Training methods and diet have played a huge role in ever increasing sports achievement in all areas, and as we know he’s got some good trainers with his team, we’ve got to take that into account.

Only one other man ever managed what he did, and that was over 30 years ago…don’t you think the guy deserves some respect?

Let us know.

What is your fave fashion fad?

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

High waist jeans?  Plaid caps?  Tattoos or piercings?  Are you going boho chic, or harajuku with hello kitty accents?  What exactly is blowing your baby doll up these days, and getting your cropped leggings in a twist?  We’re working on the fashion pages for the upcoming back to school issue today, and we want your input!  And maybe…just maybe…you can influence the fashion sense of a few other KEWL readers as well!

Do You Want to Change the World?

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Zoe Isaacs does!  And she’s doing it, too!  Today she came in to the KEWL Magazine offices, and told us all about the Change the World Kids; a group of kids and teens who are making a difference both locally and globally!  Not only do they help out those who need it in their own community by raking leaves, or cleaning house, or even giving a needy neighbor’s house a good winterizing, but they are also making a difference on a global scale by improving communities in places like Costa Rica and Rwanda!  They are so KEWL!!!!!  If you click on their name above, it’ll take you to their website, and you can find out more…and maybe even how to start your own group where you live!

We’ll have more on the site and in the mag this fall about Zoe and her peeps!  Check it out!

Today on Good Morning America, the entire cast of HSM2 was on hand to talk, and give a dance lesson, and just look gorgeous!  Speaking of gorgeous: where was Lucas?!?  We hope he’s just busy on another project, and not sick or something!

Check out the video here, and then come right back and tell us what you think in the comments!  We’ve always been Zac fans, and Corbin, but the “baking guy” is rising fast!
